Places to visit Hull

Places to see:
- Ferens Art Gallery – with free entry, it has a permanent collection of Sculpture and Paintings from medieval to present day, as well as a regular programme of temporary exhibitions from around the world. Strong on old European Masters, particularly Dutch and Flemish, the Ferens also houses some of the best contemporary art in the country.
- Maritime Museum - Free entry. Formerly the Whaling Museum and housed in the original Dock offices for the Princes Dock, this is a huge, dusty and quaintly old-fashioned museum dedicated to Hull's glorious conquest of the High Seas, and the often tragic sacrifices made to pursue it.
- Hull City Hall - Completed in 1903, the City Hall stood in defiance of the Luftwaffe to emerge as one of the most loved structures in the city. It now regularly hosts Rock, Pop, Classical and Comedy events all year round.
- Queens Gardens - Opened in 1930 and built on top of the Queens Dock (The largest dock in the country), you can still make out the original shape of the dock in the walls and buildings surrounding you. At one end stands the Wilberforce Monument and at the other the Maritime Museum. The Gardens are sunk and contain flowerbeds, seating, a large grassed area.

Things to do:
- Have a pint in Ye Olde White Harte - One of many delightful historic pubs in the old town. The upstairs 'plotting parlour' is believed to be where Sir John Hotham and various city elders met in 1642 and decided to deny King Charles I access to the city. When the King returned a few months later with an army, his defeat was the first military action of the English Civil War.
- Take a Humber Speedboat ride from Victoria Pier for £3.50
- Stand at the statue of Alfred Gelder and look in all four directions at the fantastic buildings around you.
- Check out Hull Truck Theatre on Spring Street to see a production at the home of one of the most successful touring theatre companies in the country.
- Go see a film at the Hull Screen - Hulls independent arthouse cinema, now based at the University of Lincoln building on George Street.

about Hull

Kingston upon Hull, more usually referred to simply as Hull, is a city and unitary authority in the East Riding of Yorkshire, located on the north bank of the Humber estuary, near the east coast of northern England on both sides of the River Hull, which flows into the Humber.

In some ways the 20th century was the most consistently calamitous era in the long, long history of this great working class maritime city.

From a position at the start of the 1900's of industrial and mercantile might that put it on a level with almost any other city in the land, by the last decade of the century its litany of hard luck stories had cruelly conspired to turn Hull into something of a national laughing stock.

The last hundred years were, however, a sad chapter in an epic story, and at the birth of a new century, the place Larkin called the 'lonely northern daughter' has begun to miraculously revive and stake its claim for prosperity and respect once more.

The flat landscape and low but often breathtaking historic buildings give a sense of there being a massive backdrop of sky, and when combined with a view out to the brooding, bleak, mighty expanse of the Humber Estuary from the point at which it converges with the River Hull it becomes apparent that there is something special in the location of the town.
